6. "To be fair, re: The Counselor:" In response to In response to 4 Mon Dec-19-22 11:42 AM by Frank Longo
At least it's, like, its own thing. There are people I know who really love The Counselor. (I'm on your side, but those people exist.) And I think it's because it has style and is kind of outlandish and isn't a complete hack job. Even though I *really* didn't like it when I saw it, in my mind I hold it above the phoned-in bad movies, because it's pretty clear they made what they wanted to make, and it was just very *not* for me. (I think a decent amount of latter-day Ridley Scott probably falls under this umbrella tbh.)
I have to think whatever the "worst cast/best movie" is has to be some bullshit phoned-in studio hack directed completely forgettable malarkey. (The Righteous Kill example at the top of the post is a pretty good pull, imo.)
